This year we aim for MORE Sales locations all over Montlake, so WE NEED YOU!
SIGN UP to participate in the yard sale. Write ASAP to Yardsale@montlake.net, but no later than Friday, Sept 26. Give the following important information (and ask questions to):
- Name
- Address
- Phone number
- E-mail address
- Names of neighbors teaming with you
- Any brief info on the items you may be offering so we can use that in advertising.
TEAM UP (if you can) with a couple neighbors for a sale in one yard or across several.
CLEAN UP. Get out your Has Beens from attic, basement, closets, & garage; part with outgrown toys and clothes (children’s & adults’); include plants, roots & bulbs; make a clean sweep.
PUT EM UP-SIGNS, THAT IS. We have bright yellow sale signs for you, but you can add homemade signs, streamers, balloons for even more impact.
TALK IT UP. We’ll advertise in newspapers, websites, and street signs, and distribute shoppers maps. YOU get out the word to your extended family, friends, & acquaintances–Tweet, Facebook, Shout, Song & Dance….
GIVE UP-A BIT.We invite you to contribute 10% of your proceeds to the Montlake Community Club for sale expenses and for the MCC projects we’re planning for you in 2014-15. (But we welcome your participation even if you are unable to make a contribution.)
JOIN THE YARD SALE! JOIN THE COMMUNITY! JOIN THE FUN!

Is there a system to have unsold items picked up at the end if the day to go to a charity thrift store?
